Challenges Faced by SOL-MILLENNIUM Medical Group: 

Before the implementation of OnePlan, SOL-MILLENNIUM Medical Group encountered several challenges in portfolio and project management across different regions. The company was in the formalization phase of its digital transformation journey, aiming to align execution with strategic goals. However, the organization faced challenges such as: 

• Tool Competition: Different regions and departments used various tools for portfolio and project management, leading to inefficiencies and communication gaps. 
• Lack of Clear Structure: The abundance of project information lacked a clear organizational structure, resulting in low transparency and overlapping work. 
• Unclear Prioritization: The prioritization of projects was not well-defined, leading to difficulties in resource allocation and strategic decision-making. 

Benefits of Implementing OnePlan: 

OnePlan offered a long-term development approach, becoming an integral part of the organization’s project management culture.  The OnePlan software serves as a versatile solution, offering customization features that address a wide range of challenges. Its plan fields and customization options enable SOL-MILLENNIUM Medical Group to tailor projects and portfolio analysis to their specific needs. This adaptability fosters a project management culture aligned with their strategic goals, creating a comprehensive solution for various operational needs. 

With the adoption of OnePlan, SOL-MILLENNIUM Medical Group saw significant improvements: 

• Clear Project Structure: Project tabs were organized, providing a clear overview of ongoing activities and the big picture. 
• Improved Control: Project managers gained better control over project scope, schedules, and resources, reducing overlapping work and reacting better to dynamic changes.
• Prioritization Framework: A prioritization score and ranking system were established within the portfolio, facilitating informed decision-making.
